    Have about six hours in on the Ps4 Pro, no crashes or bugs for me. Animation can stutter a bit during combat but that's all that I have found.

    So far I am having a blast. For this to have been made by a team of thirty people is quite impressive. The systems are in depth and enjoyable. Booze storage maxed?

    I will update my review once I complete a play through but I wanted to chime in to maybe encourage someone to give the game a shot. I see many reviews that are posted after only a few hours of game play and I don't think that is near enough time to make an accurate assessment. So far I am loving it.    … Expand

    Way underrated game!
    In a world of monsters and whimsical mages and dwarves it was about time we got a real life strategy game for mafia fans (not talking the Mafia franchise, I am talking la familia!).
    Yeah the launch was far from good but seriously, which launch is! Even the big ones continuously screw that up (hello Cyberpunk, hello Blizzard). But the gameplay is so much fun, the    Way underrated game!

    But the gameplay is so much fun, the characters have so much life in them (the ones based on real life gangsters and the fictitious ones).
    And if you want a kickass gaming community, go and find them on Discord!
    Gamers and fans of games (not haters and trolls) come together there and share their thoughts, Romerogames listens and interacts, There is a corner for the history nerds - like for real, this game has it all.
    They are aware of their shortcomings, Paradox is streaming on Twitch every other week, they constantly bring out new patches.
    Personally, I didn't run into a game breaking bug since launch and the ones I've encountered can be easily forgiven.
    Love it, thanks so much for this amazing game!    … Expand

    I loved the game, a lot of fun after patch 1.09, fun gameplay, but at one point it gets repetitive, there's nothing like xcom, except minimally the combat, but I enjoyed it a lot, and I loved the rackt management part

    A game that while atmospheric, turns monotonous very quickly, and whose ideas are never developed in a way that makes it interesting to play. [Issue#184, p.86]

    Great concept, horrible execution – that’s the long and short of it. Repetitive levels, gameplay depending on chance over skill, bugs that regularly force you to reload old save files… Empire of Sin just isn’t very good.

    Empire of Sin is a poor and skeleton-thin management game at its core with complicated systems, menus, and tutorials that do a poor job at getting you acclimated to the experience. Add on top of that a library worth of bugs that force you to restart, ruin pivotal moments of the game, and just make the experience more frustrating and you have a game that is not worth even worth a slight bit of consideration. Empire of Sin is a massive disappointment.
